IMPROVEMENT IN coMBINrD TooL.

TO ALL WHOM IT- MAY. CONCERN:

Be it known that I, B. W. COLLIER, of Oxford, in the county ofLafayette, and State of Mississippi, have.

invented anew and useful Combined Tool; and I do hereby declare .the following to be a full, clear, and -exaet description of the same, reference being had to the accolnpanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in whichi Figure l is a side view of my invention.

Figure 2 represents one edge of my improved tool, and

Figure 3 the opposite edge.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention combines in* one instrument a. pair of pliers, a pair of clippers, a 1ea burnisher, ahammer, several punches, three or four wrenches, a. saw-set, a screw-driver, a scraper, and a set of holes for straightening'wire, nails, Btc.

In order that others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains 'may be enabledto make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it in detail. v

In the drawings, A A represent the jaws, and A A' the handles of a pair of pliers. On one side of the jaws raised lips or linife edges C are provided, shutting against each other so as to form a. pair of clippers, for` v the purpose of clipping tin, sheet iron, wire, Ste- The back of one of the jaws is cut into afile,-F, and the back of the other formed for a burnisher, B, 'and a hammer, H. The handles are made in the shape shown in the drawing, and atppp one of them is provided with a set of pins, of different sides, projecting when the instrument is shut into corresponding holes on the other side, and forming a. set of punches. Near the same point a series of holes, huh haof different sizes, is made in the stout'handle for the purpose of straightening wires, nails, pins, v317e., &c. At :mother point in the handle/a set of three or more wrenche`s,-W W W, is provided, as shown in the drawings. Near the extremity of the handle a saw-set, S, is cut in one edge efvit, and

the handle inally terminates .ina claw, K. The end of the opposite handle is formed and tempered for a screw-driver, D, and above this it is made, at G, with edges' somewhat sharp to fit it for scraping plates 'of iron, wire, tc., Stel The whole instrument, thus formed and adapted for so many different purposes, is as compact, simple,-and neat, and almost as cheap as an ordinary pair, of pliers. It may be made so small, if necessary, as to be easily carried in the pocket. I l

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

The instrument above described, having the parts combined and arranged substantially as and for the purposes specified.
